Burke Centre Stingers Swim-a-Thon

Benefiting The Capital Area Food Bank

https://www.capitalareafoodbank.org/what-we-do/

Monday, June 23rd 

*The Woods Pool 

*During regular swim practice times

*All age groups can participate

*They can even use their flippers and kickboards! 

* Swimming * Music * Games * Treats *

Each year, we choose a local charity to help those in need as well as to fulfill our Charter obligation with the Burke Centre Conservancy. The Stingers have chosen The Capital Area Food Bank. 

According to Capital Area Food Bank’s 2024 Hunger Report, more than one-third of our region experienced food insecurity at some point between May 2023 and April 2024, or about 1.5 million people. Food insecurity disproportionately impacts families with children, who make up 42% of the food insecure population. Together, we can work to provide good food today, for brighter futures tomorrow - every dollar you donate can help Capital Area Food Bank to provide 2 meals to a neighbor in need.  Our goal is to raise $5,000 but we hope to raise this and more with your help! During the event, your Stinger will swim as many laps as they can during their practice time to raise as much money as possible for this great cause.
